What a silly thing!!


Poem Artwork

The new secretary starts her job


Automating time consuming daily tasks


Shortening the time it takes to do the mundane


Leaving more time for more important work


 


Off go the deliverable documents to each of the customers


Company copy of those documents sent off


Office files kept in her office


Marked with a pink highlighter


 


Boss comes in to talk with the newbie


“Come into my office and close the door.”


“You cannot use a pink highlighter,


The only acceptable color is yellow”


 


“The continued freedom of the entire world


Hangs on the continued excessive use


Of only yellow highlighters


Pink will not do at all!"


 


Completely at a loss for an intelligent word to say


She looks at her boss and finally says


“Alright, I’ll comply.”


“But don’t you think it’s really silly?”

Oh my goodness, Ann. There's more in this poem than a silly yellow highlighter when the continued freedom of the entire world depends on the exclusivity of yellow highlighters. You give me much to think about and reflect upon the numerous silly yellow highlighters that there are in my life.

"You cannot use a pink highlighter,
The only acceptable color is yellow”

That boss should have conducted an office raid, and confiscated all pink highlighters. They always look for a scapegoat.

Silly or not, one must know on which side the butter is on the bread.
Yellow, pink, green...who cares as the pay check arrive in time?
But I get you loud and clear.
STOP THIS CRAZY WORLD, I WANT TO GET OFF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And think of all the silly AND dangerous things to which so many say
"I'll comply".

Scary.

Bad Idea questioning the boss on the first day
That's a huge no-no
Enjoyed your write
Peace and love be with you
